My Beloved Joe,

I miss you more than anyone can imagine. I imagine if I was given a moment, just a slice of the past I would hold close forever and that moment would last. I'd put that moment in a safe, all the while tears streaming down my face. I could open it anytime, only I know the code. I could choose a time of laughing, a time of happiness and fun. I could choose a time you tried me, through all that I have done. I could choose a time you held me close and kissed me on my face. I sat and thought which one would make me smile, the one that you would always push me to walk that extra mile. If I'm feeling sad and low, struggling with what to do, I can open my little safe and watch my moment through. There are moments I can think of, that would lift my spirits everytime, the moments, you'd pick me up, the road was hard to climb. For me to only pick one moment to cherish, save and keep. It's proving very difficult, as I've gathered like a heap! I dug deep inside my heart, found the safe and looked inside. There's room for lots of moments, infact hundreds more I've tried. I'm building my own library of us embedded in my heart, of all the moments spent with you before we had to part. I can open it whenever I want. Pick a moment and watch it through. My library acts as a promise, I will never forget or stop loving you....I love you, Joe.

Love,

Kathy
